9:35 pm, somewhere in between Blood Diamond.
Solomon (Djimon Hounsou) learns from his wife who is in a refugee camp, that his son has been captured by the RUF. He grabs the fence which separates him from his wife and two daughters and shakes it like he's being electrocuted. He screams to the guards to let out his family and keeps shaking the fence. Finally, the guards attack him with their rifle butts and become nervous and edgy (read: ready to shoot him). Archer (Di'Caprio) intervenes and drags him away from the fence.
The screen fades to black, and white letters in a comforting font appear on the screen. A cozy jazz tune plays in the background.
"Do you know why companies make ads?"
"So that you can go to your microwave and make a bowl of Act II Popcorn without missing the programme."
"Honest."
The television is a curious creature.
